I suffered from a lot of depression post-divorce, poat comming out, and subsequently post-Brian.  While I'm not sure about ever being "over" depreasiin what I do know is that I am off prescription meds and lead a very poaitive life now.

How? The only real difference is that I suppliment now with l-theanine. When I fiirst started I was taking 100mg every morning along with my welbutrin. Came off of the welbutrin as I ratcheted up the l-theanine. I now take 600mg every morning and have for several years now. You can order it online but I buy mine at WalMart for $6 per bottle.  You should discuss with your doctor.

I still have dark moments but they are nothing like before.

I thought I could go off my antidepressant after a year. It was clear after three months of not taking it that I was more easily irritated, didn't handle stress well (especially work-related stress) and that I was in general a more pleasant person to be around. I still have hopes I won't need to stay on the antidepressant forever.

One thing that works for me, helping me stay focused and moving forward is to fight procrastination!
